That would only work if the ssh client could know exactly what was going on in the user session. Like, how would that work if I were editing a file with vim? Or even just typing a command into the shell (where I might need to backtrack and edit the command)?

This doesn't seem very feasible or useful to me.

That's what the TTY settings are for. The program displayed controls line buffering by setting the TTY mode as it wants.
